Police on the scene of the shooting near the corner of 10th Avenue and 28th Street in Paterson.

PATERSON – Authorities have identified the victim in Tuesday’s second city homicide, a killing that happened near the same corner where a drive-by shooting took place about two days earlier.

Police said 24-year-old Ismail N. Walker was found with a fatal bullet wound on 10th Avenue, near East 28th Street at about 2:55 pm on Tuesday. He died after being taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center, police said.

On Sunday at 12:10 am, two men suffered leg wounds when they were shot by someone in a vehicle that pulled alongside them as they walked on East 28th Street, near 10th Avenue, according to police.

Tenth Avenue is a busy corridor in the city’s illicit drug trade, an area where out-of-town buyers come into Paterson from Route 20.

Authorities have not said whether there’s any connection between those two cases, or if they have anything to do with the first homicide that happened on Tuesday, a shooting that left another 24-year-old man. The victim in that crime, Ralph Dennison Jr., was shot and killed near the drug-ridden corner of Rosa Parks Boulevard and Hamilton Avenue shortly after mid-night.

City police said previous media reports of a homicide near the intersection of Market Street and Vreeland Avenue were inaccurate.
